[ILUG] ppp adsl connection

[Declan McMullen]

 hello all,
   I mailed before about using eircom i stream on a linux box.
  I received some good information then and have since gotten very close to getting 
  it running.
  
  I was wondering if anyone could help with my final problem
  This is what is happening in my syslog:

This is my /etc/ppp/options file

 lock
defaultroute
noipdefault
noauth
passive
asyncmap 0
name myusername at eircom.net
user myusername at eircom.net
lcp-echo-interval 2
lcp-echo-failure 7
plugin /usr/lib/pppd/plugins/pppoe.so
nas0

in pap-secrets and chap-secrets i have myusername at eircom.net * mypassword

I have also tried it without the eircom.net extensions
Also i have the dns server ip's  in my resolv.conf file

So can anyone help me with why it wont connect to eircom ?

Everything seems to be in place
The only thing i could narrow it down to was the ppp files 

Any help is much appreciated.

 regards
